The Nienhuis Montessori Solaris multipurpose clock turns telling time into a creative activity for children to build their own clock using the Solaris components! Solaris is a unique, multipurpose clock equipped with various interchangeable clock faces which are commonly found in every day life: Arabic numerals, Roman numerals divided into minutes and a sundial.
The Nienhuis Montessori Solaris introduces the concept of time as a function of the sun and rotation of the earth and opens to the children an entirely new perception of time concepts and their relationships. The supplied compass is used to orient the clock to north and introduces the concept of direction on the planet’s surface – also known as ‘magnetic’ north.
